Curt Castle (Album Release Show!) w/ Riley Parker, Nathanael Jordan

$FREE for 21+, $5 for underage

Curt Castle’s upcoming debut album, If I’m Here At All, attempts to answer the question: How do we redefine ourselves when the foundations of our lives disappear? An uninhibited examination of his past, of his fears, of his loss and of his hopes for the future, Curt Castle’s music is starkly vulnerable and honest, and fundamentally human. The album features a sonic landscape built on dynamic arrangements inspired by Harry Nilsson, soaked in synthetic sound reminiscent of Thomas Dolby's production work, and occasionally interspersed with electric guitarmony. The main engine of the songs are the up front emotion of the lyrics and the catchy melodies they ride on. “Chances,” the first track on the record, is a piercing look at a relationship on the verge of falling apart. “All the Love in the World” looks at living with grief where each breath feels like an act of survival and triumph. And “Across State Lines (Supernova)” finds cautious hope in new love. Now, Curt Castle has built up a high energy live show honed while opening around the country for headliners like Gomez, GIVERS, Dent May, Joan of Arc and many others. There’s a full band bringing the songs to life. In these live environments, If I’m Here At All’s songs about loneliness create an atmosphere of togetherness. Solemn, Broadcast-like meditations... Fans of sophisticated serenades will no doubt swoon before the journey’s end. -Lee Adcock, Immersive Atlanta “Afraid of the Lightning,” is a punchy pop tune that should please fans of ’70s-soft-rock stans like Stephen Steinbrink. The B-side, “Across State Lines (Supernova),” is a Casio-hued slow-burner that bodes well for the inevitable upcoming full-length. -Gabe Vodicka, Flagpole Magazine

About the Venue

The Mothlight

at Mr Freds

Our goal is to provide a home for local and traveling musicians alike who value creative artistic expression and intellectual freedom. As a music venue first, complete with a high quality sound and light system, we will have shows at least 3 nights a week, but will be open every evening as a neighborhood bar spinning good music and pouring tasty beverages. Open everyday from 5pm-2am regardless of show, this means people can come in before or after a show at no cost and grab a drink, play Mortal Kombat arcade game on free mode, check out the gallery space with a revolving cast of artists, etc.

PLEASE DO NOT PARK ALONG JARRETT STREET! It is a Dead End street with limited parking for local residents only. There is plenty of street parking along Haywood Rd. Patrons are also welcome to use the Bank and Church parking lots after 5pm – these lots are right across the street from The Mothlight, where the Tuesday Farmers Market is held.
